“…However, miRNAs have been described and/or analyzed in a few mollusk species during the past decade [ 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 ], including M. galloprovincialis [ 26 , 60 ]. On the other hand, lncRNAs have been less studied, but some recent publications have reported the identification, expression profiles, and even the potential functions of some mollusk lncRNAs [ 29 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 ]. However, the identification and RNA-Seq analysis of M. galloprovincialis lncRNAs is limited to a recent publication describing the lncRNAs modulated in gills after V. splendidus bath infection [ 43 ].…”
